There are manufacturer-specified ranges for both
ELO and Microtouch (though I don't know if they
are using the resistive technology). They may
be not perfectly precise but they are good
enough for the precision of a finger touch -
since the fingers are much bigger than pixels,
you can't touch a particular pixel anyway.
For ELO the range is around from 300 to 3700
I don't remember the exact numbers, for 
Microtouch it's from 0 to 16K. 

The drivers have the defaults compiled into them
which can be changed from XF86Config. The problem
is that the ELO driver has (had?) it's defaults
set to 0-16K as well, so without an explicit
setting in the config file it does not work
in any useful manner.
